Our policy of "next plot, next person" for our registration list ensures a healthy mix of backgrounds and a fair distribution of plots. The gardeners represent the full range of diversity that is present in the County, including all socioeconomic status. The Fairfax County Park Authority rents more than 700 garden plots in ten county parks to Fairfax County residents on an annual basis. Gardeners who follow the rules are offered renewal rentals for subsequent years in all garden plot parks except Hogge Park where rentals are only for one year. After the rental period ends, gardeners may register again and will be placed at the end of the registration list. Garden Plot Details: Large Plots are about 20 by 30 feet. Fences, gates, and locks are provided and maintained by the renter. Fences and raised beds are provided and maintained by the FCPA. Plots are accessible during daylight hours, 365 days per year, unless park closures are required. Comparison of Large and Small Rental Plots Feature Large Plot Model(~600 sq. ft) Small Plot Model (~60 sq. ft) Rental terms Renewable annually. Non-renewable single season (February November). Priority given to the gardeners who live closest to the plot they apply for. Tools Supplied to each gardener for personal use. Community shed and tools available. Fees $ 150 per year. $ 140 at Eakin Park. $ 85 per year. Accessibility Wheelchair access at Laurel Hill only. All plots accessible by wheelchair.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要说明了费尔法克斯县公园局推出社区花园租赁项目，向居民出租大小地块，实行公平分配政策。不同地块租期、费用、设施及无障碍条件各异，租户需自行清理园艺垃圾。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Our policy of “next plot, next person” for our registration list ensures a healthy mix of backgrounds and a fair distribution of plots.(我们针对登记名单实行“按顺序分配地块，先到先得、一人一地块”的政策，以此确保参与者背景多元，同时公平分配每一块园地)”可知，这一政策的目的是保证公平性。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Gardeners who follow the rules are offered renewal rentals for subsequent years in all garden plot parks except Hogge Park where rentals are only for one year.(遵守规定的园丁在除霍格公园以外的所有园地公园中，都能获得后续年度的续租优惠；而霍格公园则只提供一年的租赁服务)”可知，霍格公园提供不可续租的服务。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格Small Plot Model下Accessibility部分中“All plots accessible by wheelchair.(所有地块均可供轮椅通行)”可知，对残疾人更加友好是小地块的优势。故选C。 B In spring 2017, Avila Pinedo and her classmates from Garey High School founded the school’s first invention club. Noticing their low-income community’s high diabetes (糖尿病) rate and insufficient healthcare access, the team planned to invent a toenail-cutting tool for diabetic patients. Surprisingly, after submitting the idea to Lemelson-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Lemelson-MIT), the Garey High group was awarded one of the 15 InvenTeams for 2017-2018. Yet subsequently, the teens questioned their proposed invention due to sharp-tool risks. Concerned about the new direction, they approached the Lemelson-MIT Program for advice, where Leigh Estabrooks, a seasoned academic, encouraged them, “Invention advances; changes and adjustments are common — that’s the process.” Despite the change in plans, Estabrooks praised the community-centered approach. With renewed determination, the team resolved to develop a tool to monitor blood oxygen levels in diabetics feet. This shift was essential and demanded considerable effort. Avila Pinedo recalled the team invested every spare moment in research. Each team member performed specific functions in the process. Avila Pinedo led — the development of the sensor (传感器) that measured blood oxygen levels. Lacking prior technical skills, Avila Pinedo determined to employ online resources to acquire how to build the electrical system and finally built the sensor. “Invention offers a chance to explore the boundaries of your creativity and capabilities and unlock the power of the invention mindset. It doesn’t mean you must know how to build a sensor, but you do need to take responsibility for your own education,” Pinedo said. Ultimately, under the team’s cooperation, their invention, named Heart and Sole, became a reality. The experience lit Avila Pinedo’s passion, inspiring her to serve as an advisor to primary pupils recently. Guiding them through hands-on engineering and programming for a STEM initiative, she said. “Invention is transformational,” witnessing its empowering influence on InvenTeamers and others who realize that applying imagination and concepts can unlock fresh prospects, therefore motivating them to further explore education with the belief that invention is accessible to all. 4. What motivated the club’s invention? A. Expectation from Garey High School. B. Community health issues. C. Regional income inequality. D. Requirements from InvenTeams. 5. Which of the following would Estabrooks agree concerning invention? A. Redesigns are natural. B. Original plans are the key. C. Instructions determine success. D. Academic support counts. 6. What contributed to Avila Pinedo’s success in developing the sensor? A. Constant trials. B. Self-directed learning. C. Financial backing. D. Risk-taking mindset. 7. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To introduce Avila Pinedo’s future plan. B. To show the prospect of Heart and Sole. C. To acknowledge the InvenTeam’s devotion. D. To stress the nature and impact of invention. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。它讲述了Avila Pinedo和她的同学在Garey高中成立发明俱乐部，最初计划为糖尿病患者设计剪脚趾甲工具，后因风险调整方向，最终开发监测足部血氧水平的设备，并强调了发明对个人和社区的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In spring 2017, Avila Pinedo and her classmates from Garey High School founded the school’s first invention club. Noticing their low-income community’s high diabetes (糖尿病) rate and insufficient healthcare access, the team planned to invent a toenail-cutting tool for diabetic patients.(2017年春天，来自加里高中的Avila Pinedo和她的同学们成立了学校的第一个发明俱乐部。注意到他们所在的低收入社区的糖尿病高发率和缺乏医疗保障，这个小组计划为糖尿病患者发明一种剪脚趾甲的工具)”可知，是社区的健康问题激发了俱乐部的发明。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Concerned about the new direction, they approached the Lemelson-MIT Program for advice, where Leigh Estabrooks, a seasoned academic, encouraged them, “Invention advances; changes and adjustments are common–that’s the process.”(出于对新方向的担忧，他们向勒梅尔森-麻省理工学院项目寻求建议，经验丰富的学者Leigh Estabrookss鼓励他们说：“发明进步；变化和调整是很常见的——这就是过程。”)”可知，Leigh Estabrooks认为发明过程中变化和调整是很常见的，所以会同意A项“重新设计是很自然的”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Lacking prior technical skills, Avila Pinedo determined to employ online resources to acquire how to build the electrical system and finally built the sensor.(由于缺乏先前的技术技能，Avila Pinedo决定利用在线资源来获取如何构建电气系统，并最终构建了传感器)”可知，Avila Pinedo利用在线资源来获取如何构建电气系统，并最终构建了传感器，也就是通过自主学习获得成功。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Invention is transformational,” witnessing its empowering influence on InvenTeamers and others who realize that applying imagination and concepts can unlock fresh prospects, therefore motivating them to further explore education with the belief that invention is accessible to all.(“发明是变革性的”，见证了它对发明家和其他意识到运用想象力和概念可以开启新前景的人的赋权影响，因此激励他们进一步探索教育，并相信所有人都可以获得发明)”可知，本段目的是强调发明的本质和影响。故选D项。 C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D. C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U. S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D. C. which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion in the city. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with the rent around $ 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing (经济适用房). “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 8. What are cities like D. C. attempting to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Build new houses in suburbs. C. Knock down unused buildings. D. Encourage working from home. 9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 10. How does Tracy Loh view the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Influential. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Offices Are Becoming Homes C. Housing Demand Is Crying for More D. Manufacturing Is Making A Comeback 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍美国多地将闲置办公楼改造为住宅，以此缓解办公空间过剩与住房短缺两大城市难题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.(如今华盛顿特区等城市希望将闲置办公楼改造成住宅，用一个难题化解另一个难题。)”可知，这类城市打算重新利用闲置办公楼。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with the rent around $ 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing (经济适用房). (规划中包含泳池、宠物狗乐园等配套设施，月租金约4000美元。不过其中60套房源将划为经济适用房。)”可知，该项目兼顾盈利与社会需求。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的““The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.”(布鲁金斯学会研究员特雷西·洛长期研究旧建筑改造再利用，她称住房缺口之大，远非改造房源所能填补。但她认为这类项目依旧价值十足，“在增加住房供给这件事上，确实能一举两得。”)”可知，特雷西·罗认为该改造方案贴合现实情况，看法务实。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.(如今华盛顿特区等城市希望将闲置办公楼改造成住宅，用一个难题化解另一个难题。)”以及最后一段中的“Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.(就像昔日空置厂房变为新潮公寓，如今闲置办公楼也正改造成时尚居所。)”可知，文章核心内容是办公楼逐步改造为住宅，所以题目“办公室正在变身住宅”概括了文章主题，适合作为文章标题。 D You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works. To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority. Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular. Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind. While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again. 12. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disorder. B. Prejudice. C. Contrast. D. Debate. 13. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text? A. A false impression. B. A harmful behavior. C. An overestimated post. D. A minority of commenters. 14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why global web traffic misleads people. B. Why the minority feels like the majority. C. How we identify online harmful content. D. What harm online misconception causes. 15. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Acting like the loudest few. B. Improving moral standards. C. Avoiding online engagement. D. Valuing real-life interactions. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络世界与现实世界之间的差异，指出人们往往高估网络上的有害行为，并分析了造成这种认知偏差的原因及其影响，最后提出了缩小这一差距的建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. (你上网一小时后，感觉世界要崩溃了。然而，在现实世界中，一个与你政治观点不同的邻居却帮你发动了汽车。这种dissonance并非偶然)”可知，前一句描述了网络世界带来的负面感受，后一句则通过现实中的例子展示了与网络世界截然不同的积极体验，两者形成对比。由此可推测，划线词dissonance指的是这种“对比”，与C项“Contrast”意思相近。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority.(大多数冒犯性帖子来自一小群高度活跃的用户，他们过度的帖子塑造了公众的信念，制造了一种“多数错觉”，使这一少数群体看起来像是常态，淹没了沉默的大多数)”可知，少数高度活跃的用户通过发布大量帖子，使公众误以为他们的行为是大多数人的行为，从而形成了一种“错误的印象”。由此可推测，“majority illusion”指的是“错误的印象”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular.(我们的大脑天生就会注意到威胁和道德上的缺陷——负面内容会留在我们的记忆中。此外，社交媒体算法会优先考虑能引起强烈反应的内容，以保持用户的参与度，而虚假信息的传播速度比真实信息更快。僵尸网络增加了噪音：据报道，恶意机器人约占全球网络流量的三分之一，误导了哪些趋势和谁看起来受欢迎)”可知，本段主要分析了为什么少数高度活跃的用户会感觉像多数，即解释了“多数错觉”产生的原因。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again.(关键在于认识到网络参与并不等于认可：跳过“最吸引人”的动态，将我们的观点建立在现实世界的联系上。想象一个广场，在那里，声音最大的几个人不会抢走麦克风——分歧依然存在，但空气中回荡着日常生活：邻居帮忙发动汽车，陌生人为你开门。在网上，我们可以让这种现实再次可见)”可知，作者建议人们应该重视现实生活中的互动，而不是仅仅关注网络上的动态。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many teens have chatted with AI chatbots, which can be helpful.

They both had great passion for dancing and dreamed for bigger stages. They were both friends and competitors. They had similar taste in music, and had similar dressing styles. Even they wore shoes of the same size. They had both committed themselves to preparing for the upcoming contest. Grace’s journey to the competition was marked by countless hours of practice and determination. She would rise before the sun, and the studio lights were her only company. Every movement was perfected with unwavering commitment. She knew that this competition wasn’t just about personal success; it was also about upholding her school’s honor. “Grace, you’re incredible!” Grace’s dance instructor, Mrs. Anderson, often praised her. “Your hard work will pay off.” Ellen had been practicing hard for this competition as well. Her love for dance was her driving force. After school, she would head straight to the dance studio, tirelessly perfecting every step and twirl. Her dance shoes had become an extension of her feet, and her heart burned with a strong desire for victory. “Ellen, you’re a natural,” her fellow dancers would often say. “You’ve got this!” The day of the competition finally arrived, and there were five competitors fighting for the championship title. Ellen was scheduled to perform before Grace. As Ellen stood backstage, the butterflies in her stomach seemed to have turned into a whirlwind (漩涡). She checked her dance shoes one last time and realized a huge mistake. The shoes themselves were a size too small—It turned out she took her little sister’s shoes by mistake. Panic set in as her mind raced for g solution. “Ellen, you’re up next!” the stage manager announced. In the dimly lit (灰暗的) backstage area, Grace overheard Ellen’s whispers to her friend, Sarah. “I brought the wrong shoes, Sarah,” Ellen’s voice trembled (颤抖). “They are too small. What am I going to do?” Grace’s heart sank as she overheard the conversation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右： 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Grace knew her shoes would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears of gratitude welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she slipped into Grace’s shoes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Grace knew her shoes would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated. After all, it was Ellen’s own fault for not bringing the right shoes. However, Grace also understood that sometimes in competition, we need to put aside our differences and help each other. She took a deep breath and approached Ellen. “Ellen, I heard your problem,” Grace said, her voice soft. “I have an extra pair of shoes that will fit you perfectly. Let me get them for you.” Ellen’s eyes widened in surprise. “Grace, you would do that for me?” she asked, her voice trembling. “Of course, Ellen,” Grace replied, a gentle smile on her face. “Now, go out there and show them what you’ve got.” Tears of gratitude welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she slipped into Grace’s shoes. She knew that she had let herself down and almost gave up, but Grace’s act of kindness restored her faith in herself. She vowed to herself that she would not let Grace down and would do her best in the competition. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Grace和Ellen是好朋友，也是舞蹈比赛中激烈的竞争对手。她们各自竭尽全力为即将到来的舞蹈比赛作准备，比赛那天Ellen在上台前发现自己拿错了舞鞋，不知所措，这时Grace听到了Ellen的情况。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Grace知道她的鞋子非常适合Ellen，但她有所犹豫。”可知，第一段可描写Grace经过激烈的思想斗争后最终把鞋子借给了Ellen。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Ellen穿上Grace的鞋子时，感激的泪水涌上了Ellen的眼睛。”可知，第二段可描写Ellen感动万分，明白Grace的意思，决心要在比赛中全力以赴，不让Grace失望。 2.续写线索：Grace犹豫不定——决定伸出援手——Ellen惊讶不已——Ellen感动万分——决心不让Grace失望 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①理解：understand/comprehend ②靠近：approach/get close to ③回答：reply/answer/respond 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitate/boggle ②惊讶地：in surprise/in amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1]I have an extra pair of shoes that will fit you perfectly.(运用了关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] She vowed to herself that she would not let Grace down and would do her best in the competition.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长沙市南雅中学2026届高三第二次模拟考试试卷 英语 命题人：高三英语备课组 本试卷共分为听力，阅读，语言运用和写作部分，共10页。时量120分钟，满分150分。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Noticing their low-income community’s high diabetes (糖尿病) rate and insufficient healthcare access, the team planned to invent a toenail-cutting tool for diabetic patients. Surprisingly, after submitting the idea to Lemelson-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Lemelson-MIT), the Garey High group was awarded one of the 15 InvenTeams for 2017-2018. Yet subsequently, the teens questioned their proposed invention due to sharp-tool risks. Concerned about the new direction, they approached the Lemelson-MIT Program for advice, where Leigh Estabrooks, a seasoned academic, encouraged them, “Invention advances; changes and adjustments are common — that’s the process.” Despite the change in plans, Estabrooks praised the community-centered approach. With renewed determination, the team resolved to develop a tool to monitor blood oxygen levels in diabetics feet. This shift was essential and demanded considerable effort. Avila Pinedo recalled the team invested every spare moment in research. Each team member performed specific functions in the process. Avila Pinedo led — the development of the sensor (传感器) that measured blood oxygen levels. Lacking prior technical skills, Avila Pinedo determined to employ online resources to acquire how to build the electrical system and finally built the sensor. “Invention offers a chance to explore the boundaries of your creativity and capabilities and unlock the power of the invention mindset. It doesn’t mean you must know how to build a sensor, but you do need to take responsibility for your own education,” Pinedo said. Ultimately, under the team’s cooperation, their invention, named Heart and Sole, became a reality. The experience lit Avila Pinedo’s passion, inspiring her to serve as an advisor to primary pupils recently. Guiding them through hands-on engineering and programming for a STEM initiative, she said. “Invention is transformational,” witnessing its empowering influence on InvenTeamers and others who realize that applying imagination and concepts can unlock fresh prospects, therefore motivating them to further explore education with the belief that invention is accessible to all. 4. What motivated the club’s invention? A. Expectation from Garey High School. B. Community health issues. C. Regional income inequality. D. Requirements from InvenTeams. 5. Which of the following would Estabrooks agree concerning invention? A. Redesigns are natural. B. Original plans are the key. C. Instructions determine success. D. Academic support counts. 6. What contributed to Avila Pinedo’s success in developing the sensor? A. Constant trials. B. Self-directed learning. C. Financial backing. D. Risk-taking mindset. 7. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To introduce Avila Pinedo’s future plan. B. To show the prospect of Heart and Sole. C. To acknowledge the InvenTeam’s devotion. D. To stress the nature and impact of invention. C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D. C., real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U. S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D. C. are now hoping that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D. C. which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion in the city. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with the rent around $ 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing (经济适用房). “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 8. What are cities like D. C. attempting to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Build new houses in suburbs. C. Knock down unused buildings. D. Encourage working from home. 9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 10. How does Tracy Loh view the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Influential. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Offices Are Becoming Homes C. Housing Demand Is Crying for More D. Manufacturing Is Making A Comeback D You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works. To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority. Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular. Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind. While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again. 12. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disorder. B. Prejudice. C. Contrast. D. Debate. 13. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text? A. A false impression. B. A harmful behavior. C. An overestimated post. D. A minority of commenters. 14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why global web traffic misleads people. B. Why the minority feels like the majority. C. How we identify online harmful content. D. What harm online misconception causes. 15. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Acting like the loudest few. B. Improving moral standards. C. Avoiding online engagement. D. Valuing real-life interactions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many teens have chatted with AI chatbots, which can be helpful.

They both had great passion for dancing and dreamed for bigger stages. They were both friends and competitors. They had similar taste in music, and had similar dressing styles. Even they wore shoes of the same size. They had both committed themselves to preparing for the upcoming contest. Grace’s journey to the competition was marked by countless hours of practice and determination. She would rise before the sun, and the studio lights were her only company. Every movement was perfected with unwavering commitment. She knew that this competition wasn’t just about personal success; it was also about upholding her school’s honor. “Grace, you’re incredible!” Grace’s dance instructor, Mrs. Anderson, often praised her. “Your hard work will pay off.” Ellen had been practicing hard for this competition as well. Her love for dance was her driving force. After school, she would head straight to the dance studio, tirelessly perfecting every step and twirl. Her dance shoes had become an extension of her feet, and her heart burned with a strong desire for victory. “Ellen, you’re a natural,” her fellow dancers would often say. “You’ve got this!” The day of the competition finally arrived, and there were five competitors fighting for the championship title. Ellen was scheduled to perform before Grace. As Ellen stood backstage, the butterflies in her stomach seemed to have turned into a whirlwind (漩涡). She checked her dance shoes one last time and realized a huge mistake. The shoes themselves were a size too small—It turned out she took her little sister’s shoes by mistake. Panic set in as her mind raced for g solution. “Ellen, you’re up next!” the stage manager announced. In the dimly lit (灰暗的) backstage area, Grace overheard Ellen’s whispers to her friend, Sarah. “I brought the wrong shoes, Sarah,” Ellen’s voice trembled (颤抖). “They are too small. What am I going to do?” Grace’s heart sank as she overheard the conversation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右： 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Grace knew her shoes would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears of gratitude welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she slipped into Grace’s shoes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
